Standard payment terms
90 days. No changes were made to the standard payment terms during the reporting period. If we agree Supply Chain Financing with Suppliers, this maybe increase. This is currently 180 days for the suppliers with which this is in place. For the ESN (IBS) project, the payment terms for the Supplier are 30 days in line with the UK Government directive for all Suppliers working on this project.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

If the dispute cannot be resolved through the regular Sourcing contact, then the general position is that the dispute would initially be escalated to the UK Head of Vendor Management and if not resolved, would be escalated further to the UK Head of Sourcing for final resolution. If the dispute is not resolved at this stage, the dispute resolution process outlined in the General Services Agreement between Ericsson and the Supplier will be affected. This involves notification of the Managing Directors of both parties, a mediation request made and being granted, and Expert determination being consulted. In the event that the dispute is not resolved by these means, the dispute goes to arbitration, involving legal (and ultimately court) proceedings.
